I hope some monumental impending news is indeed driving this.

But I think there are always three different kinds of traders: RNN (or XYZ) shareholders who want to sell, RNN shareholders who won't sell (and maybe want more), and non-holders of RNN who want RNN. (Duh, right?)

That's a 3-legged supply-vs-demand stool that can wobble wildly if one or more legs changes size. A chaotic system with many feedback loops. Something as trivial as an anonymous positive comment overheard from a distinguished diner at a fancy restaurant can nudge it to a tipping point.

My half-ass guess anyway: Maybe a patient or two in the latest phase II displayed a rapid improvement in some metric, too good to be mere placebo, and word got out.

A partnership, merger or buyout would be nice too. ;)
